QA staff Raven Software still got it – The US National Labor Relations Administration approved the formation of a union Game Workers Alliance. 19 workers voted “for” and only three “against”.
GWA became the first major union in the US gaming industry. Recall that the reason for its formation was the numerous layoffs in the department of testers, as well as the desire to achieve fair pay. However, Activision has already gone to improve the working environment. In particular, it enlisted over a thousand employees working under a contract. True, Raven Software employees who joined the union do not appear on this list.
On the other hand, after the approval of the trade union at the legislative level, the situation may change and, most likely, not in favor of the employer.
